Experience Our Real-Ear Fitting Method at Advanced Hearing Center

If you are looking for hearing aids in Brooklyn, Albertson, Queens, or Manhattan, NY, you can count on a truly personalized experience when you visit one of our Advanced Hearing Center hearing centers. Our New York audiologists want your hearing aid experience to be optimized for your best hearing clarity, physical comfort, and cognitive function.

Why Is a Customized Hearing Aid Important?

The manufacturer recommended settings for hearing aids are issued with the average hearing aid user – and average ear acoustics – in mind. This means that an average degree of hearing loss is addressed in the hearing aid software settings when they leave the factory. While these standard settings may satisfy the needs of many hearing aid users, they also often miss the mark, because they do not take into account the very personal hearing situation and individual ear acoustics of each patient.

That is why at Advanced Hearing Center we offer custom-fit hearing aid services for our patients. When you visit our Albertson, Queens, Manhattan, or Brooklyn audiologists, we carefully evaluate your hearing needs and perform adjustments to fit your unique needs. We also perform a systematic program of probe-microphone testing and verification, where your individualized optimum settings can be established with our Verifit2 technology by Audioscan.

What Is Different About Our Prescriptive Method?

When hearing devices are shipped from a manufacturer, the software settings are established with no specific users involved, i.e., software settings are established which are thought to be most advantageous for the proprietary construction of the hearing device.

When audiologists fit them to patients, the factory setting is changed, but usually to a setting at the doctor’s discretion, or at a setting typical for new hearing-loss patients. In effect, no real ear testing or verification takes place in either of these supposedly prescriptive methods. However, at Advanced Hearing Center of New York, we go one step further than most.

Get Real-Ear Measurements for Hearing Aids in Brooklyn, Albertson, Queens, or Manhattan

Real-ear probe-microphone verification can play a huge role in establishing precise settings that are most beneficial to the specific wearer of a hearing device. The tremendous advantage of real-ear measurements is that it allows your audiologist to evaluate your hearing while you are actually wearing the device.

The first step in the real-ear method is to actually measure the size and shape of your ear canal so that we know the acoustic parameters we are working with. Then, using a small microphone inserted in the ear canal, your audiologist introduces a sound which is detected by the microphone, and that sound detection is compared to what the microphone senses without the hearing aid in place. From this comparison, through repetitive trial and error, the most useful software setting can be selected to fit your specific degree of hearing loss.

"Quality, assurance, personable, patient, knowledgeable, informing, confident. I'm sure there are many more adjectives to describe the feeling these audiologists and their staff give to each and every patient when they walk into the office, but that would take a lot of scrolling down. So we'll just leave it at the best in town. "- Terry

"We just updated my mom's hearing aids this past month. She's 81 and was so frustrated with her hearing. She's so happy with the new hearing aids. She's smiling, more focused and not afraid to engage in conversation. A blessing for her and for her family! She loves all the people at Albertson! Thank you for your professionalism, expertise and kindness."- Steve

"Professional, courteous, friendly, took a lot of time to carefully explain all my options and what might best fit my lifestyle. After I got my hearing aids the aftercare was even better. I have several friends that I recommended that took my advice and are just as happy as I am. I have a couple of who did not and are sorry they did not. These people are the best!"- Frank

"We were visiting friends in NY, my husband was having problems with his hearing aids, so our friends recommended we go to Advanced Hearing Center. We made an appointment and saw Dr. Sapodin. Not only did she keep us laughing, but she really knows her profession and helped fix our problem so we could enjoy the remainder of our vacation. We are so thankful for her expertise and willingness to adopt us as a temporary patient. She really cares about helping people. "- Rachel G.
